I miss you every day Jackie. So many memories of the time we spent riding and lunches out and when you passed on the art of oil painting to me. Many many other memories; too many to count. You were a joy to know and spend time with. We had many things in common and she taught me things about life and about horses and the like. I can’t believe you’ve been gone from this earth and how much you affected my life. You were more like an older sister than anything to me and I Love You Dearly Always! Her smile was so infectious and her giggle just sent us both to almost tears laughing!! You were there for me through some rough times and always had sage advise whenever I needed it. She spoke her mind which didn’t always please everyone all the time; but I was forever on her side and by her side as much as possible!! You inspired me to try things I hadn’t done before and to do things the right way no matter what. I’ll never forget days of painting rental houses or cleaning and jamming to the radio or singing silly songs and taking turns rolling the large walls and ceilings with the long rollers. I got over a fear of climbing tall ladders and getting to the far reaches to paint even at the tippy top of a ladder. The deep love of horses and favorite dog Zeke gave me proof of her huge Heart and soul!!! It touched my heart. I can’t tell you how many times I reach for the phone wanting to call her and talk to her. She made a mark on my life and my heart and soul and she’ll never be far from my mind and memories!! I sincerely hope to see her someday when my time on earth is done.

Jackie will be missed, even tho we weren’t as close as we had been in school (Warren, Class of ’72), I will treasure the memories of sleep overs and slumber parties. Her out going personality is what drew people to her. I’m glad she made it to our class reunion last summer.

I am so sorry to read of Jackie’s death in the newspaper today. I worked with her at American Cablevision in the 80’s… she was always so good to me, and invited me to her home to ride with her numerous times. We had such fun together… John, my heart goes out to you at this loss.
